  1. Indoor Localisation Sensor for Elderly People Student: Damien Reilly Supervisor: Dr. John Breslin

  2. Overview of Presentation • Background • Overview of System • Hardware Components • Software • Progress to date • Timeline of Project • Tasks to complete • Questions

  3. Background • One of the most important things for an elderly person is to have their Independence. • However, with Independence comes the risk of elderly people falling over while on their own without anyone there, etc. • To monitor the movement of an elderly person we need to devise a discrete, unobtrusive system.

  4. Background • This system needs to track when the person: sits, walks, is sleeping, goes to the bathroom, etc. • With this we can obtain valuable information to diagnose early signs of several diseases e.g. heart failure, kidney problems, metabolic imbalances, etc. • Sensor will combine: • Indoor localisation to track locations. • Accelerometer to detect activities.

  6. Overview of System • Average house plans: top level idea

  7. Hardware Components

  8. Software • Arduino Development Environment • Processing IDE • Eagle PCB

  9. Progress to date • Initial research on products and components that could be used in the project. • Wiring of hardware components and connection of components to suitable power supply. • Uploading of initial program to the Arduino. • Gathering of readings from compass and storing the readings in data logger.

  10. Timeline of Project

  11. Tasks to complete • January: Design of PCB layout to suit components. • February: Improving coding of compass to get accelerometer data; Develop an algorithm to track the data from the data logger in a 2-D style using matlab • March/April: Monitor the energy efficiency of the system and try to minimise battery consumption; Development of GUI of tracked data; Testing and assembly of final prototype; Final thesis and report.
